Improving the Quality of Education in the Development of Algorithmic and Critical Thinking of Students of "Applied Informatics" - Case Study

Improving the quality of education is not an easy task, and we believe that it is strongly linked to student motivation. Student motivation is at the centre of events because, without students' internal motivation, it is not possible to effectively achieve educational goals and, ultimately, positive educational results. For this reason, it is necessary to modify the method of education with regard to the current needs of students, and as we demonstrate in the article, it is necessary to continuously control, evaluate and reflect on changes. The introduction of a complex heterogeneous system of education that takes into account the different learning styles of students as well as their individual characteristics proves to be an effective tool. Together with a comprehensive coverage of the issue based on the mediation of materials in various forms of processing, it appears to be a solution.
